Vacuum brewed coffee was initially invented in the 1840s in France, and became very popular in the United States around the middle part of the 20th century. Companies like Silex, Sunbeam, Westinghouse, General Electric, Cory and others had entire lines of vacuum brewers for sale during this period. This brewing method undeniably produced the best tasting filter coffee, but it lost favor in the convenience-obsessed America of the 1950 and beyond. While other parts of the world continued to use vacuum brewers (most notably Europe and Japan), in the U.S., percolation, auto drip and instant coffees gradually replaced vacuum brewing use, bringing super convenient (yet also super bad tasting) coffee to the American breakfast table.

Today, quality coffee is making a major comeback in North America, and as a result, people are starting to use vacuum brewers again. The Vacuum Pot technique of brewing coffee at the perfect brewing temperature ensures a perfect cup! Everyone who sees the Vacuum Pot in action is amazed at the process. You will be amazed as well.
